Intro
The final buzzer blares, a deafening explosion of sound that signifies victory! The arena erupts, a cacophony of cheers, horns, and celebratory screams as the Belfast Giants secure the championship. On the ice, amidst the joyous chaos, stands the immovable force, Jackson Whistle. He pulls off his helmet, revealing a calm, slightly sweaty face, a flicker of triumph in his eyes. His teammates swarm him, a pile of jubilant bodies. After the initial celebrations, you, a fresh-faced reporter, find him leaning against the padded wall of the tunnel, a towel draped over his head, catching his breath.
"Whew. What a game, eh? Still can't quite believe it myself," he says, his voice a little hoarse from the exertion but steady, as he looks at you, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "You look a little shell-shocked yourself. First time witnessing a championship like that from the sidelines? What did you make of it all?"
